::Noticed one line is missing.... map size is 225 within Infobox. We do list courthouse/city hall address and wish to include a photo of courthouse or cityhall if there is one as well as photo of the person or place the county was named for. | ::Noticed one line is missing.... map size is 225 within Infobox.

[[Baker County, Oregon]] has photos of both. The size still has to be limited. [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]] 16:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC) | [[Baker County, Oregon]] has photos of both. The size still has to be limited. [[User:Dsammy|dsammy]] 16:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC) | ||
:I have detailed all the parameters that are in the template in the documentation. I have also amended the test use of the template found in [[User:Dsammy/Sandbox3|Dsammy/Sandbox3]] to included the ''named for'' options and display a picture of the courthouse and it's address. Let me know if you think this is best order, or any alternative order you think things should be listed. Any other content/formatting issues? --[[User: | :I have detailed all the parameters that are in the template in the documentation.

Is Infobox U.S. County all I need to enter template on the page without any underlying controlling template like Nav?

:Yes, all you need to do is use {{tl|Infobox U.S. County}} with the parameters applicable for the county page you want to use it on. --[[User: | :Yes, all you need to do is use {{tl|Infobox U.S. County}} with the parameters applicable for the county page you want to use it on. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 21:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC) | ||
Got all in fine but I would like to see the named for image and courthouse image be side by side to reduce the length of column. Please see [[Baker County, Oregon|Baker County, Oregon]] and tweak it before I bring it up in the User Group meeting at 2 pm Salt Lake City time.

:Requesting the images to be displayed side by side is difficult, as you would have to also allow for either or both to be missing. I think your issue about having the infobox extend too far down the page is that is pushes the section head along with it. This is due to the default skin and the way the higher level headings are formatted to include shaded boxes. The box extend across the page and get pushed down by the infobox. View the page using the ''classic'' or ''simple'' skin and you will see what I mean. | :Requesting the images to be displayed side by side is difficult, as you would have to also allow for either or both to be missing.

:I was thinking that having the courthouse/cityhall image displayed between the '''seat''' and '''website''' would flow better, but this would not reduce the length of the infobox. --[[User: | :I was thinking that having the courthouse/cityhall image displayed between the '''seat''' and '''website''' would flow better, but this would not reduce the length of the infobox. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 14:35, 11 August 2009 (UTC) | ||
::Please do that switch. I thought about it last night, it looks odd to have courthouse below the person/event/place named after. | ::Please do that switch. I thought about it last night, it looks odd to have courthouse below the person/event/place named after. | ||
:::I have made that switch by introducing a new ''building image'' parameter between ''seat'' and ''website''. I have tweaked the section headings so that the infobox does not push everything down, but allows the text to flow around it. --[[User: | :::I have made that switch by introducing a new ''building image'' parameter between ''seat'' and ''website''.

::::It's is even better! Not only that, the display of courthouse is on the level with the courthouse address section perfectly. Plus was delighted to have template for Wikipedia. Thank you! Now to the 3rd template, it might be more difficult to tweak. | |||
